Booked our Antarctica trip about this time last year, in a rush with little planning - very unusual for me. We wanted to have a trip with Ms FM and her husband. I gave her a few choices and for some bizarre reason included Antarctica, and even more bizarrely she chose it.
Not that there is anything bizarre about Antarctica- it’s just that none of us have ever been on a cruise before and at least 3 of us suffer from motion sickness - Ms FM and Mr FM quite badly.
We have been getting steadily more worried about it all and although LtL’s trip report was a little reassuring, that edge of worry is still there.
I have imported patches from New Zealand and have ordered 2 pairs of boarding ring glasses. They are almost impossible to get, so not at all sure they will arrive in time - fingers crossed.
The plan is
4 Jan. fly to Sydney and overnight at Rydges
5 Jan fly to Santiago QF in J
Silversea puts us up at the Sheraton
6 Jan very early morning start and a charter flight to Ushuaia where we embark on the Silver Cloud
16 Jan cruise finishes charter flight back to Santiago
2 nights at the Singular in Santiago
18 Jan QF J to Sydney and hopefully back to Canberra. (2 hour connection)
